Maybe Biden could do this

To cut republican bullshit..

Have "fireside chats" with the people once a week or so to explain bills coming up for votes,the economy,and what republicans are doing to hinder good governance.

Just go on TV, sometimes from somewhere in the white house and talk to the people tell them what's going on. That would do alot for healing the nation.

Leads to suspiciousness and fear.

The two things that fuel magats, along with hate of left wing people ,hate in general ,anger,resentment
and white priveledge and dark triad personalities.

Also, if I might be so bold - TikTok mini-messages?

(Don't shoot me, I'm an older white lady who knows we need to engage younger voters).

Speak to all generations.
It would be a fireside chat mixed with civics class.

At least do a regular pod cast.

Truthfully would love it if Harris would do a large portion of them. Like it or not she is going to be the face of the party with Joe's age and all. She can't let what happened to Hillary Clinton happen to her. A strong confident media presence is so important and a place where she can address the RW talking points and let people really get to know her. Like it or not it's Trump's staging that has made him such a media force.
